Kipengere Range

The Kipengere Range forms a high rim above the northern country of Lake Malawi. Its broad ridges and plateaus carry mountain grassland and patches of forest, while rivers cut deep valleys through the high ground. To the south the Ruhuhu River makes a major break in the highlands before reaching the lake. These mountains form part of a larger arc of uplands whose streams also feed the Great Ruaha and its wetlands to the north.
